Myth: Microwaving food in plastic releases harmful, cancer-causing chemicals.
Fact: Only plastics not labeled microwave-safe may pose a risk. Containers and wraps marked as microwave-safe are designed to withstand heat and won’t leach harmful substances into your food. ✅

Microwaving food safely also means avoiding damaged or old containers, and never using plastic meant for single use (like takeout clamshells) in the microwave.

So thankful for the support from Ben David Jewelers! A few weeks ago they hosted a Diamond Dig where all of the proceeds benefited the programming of Danville-Pittsylvania Cancer Association.

If you didn’t know, they also have cancer ribbon necklaces for sale in their store where all of the proceeds benefit the cancer association. If you haven’t gotten one yet, it would make a great gift for a cancer survivor or simply to memorialize someone you love that has been through the fight.

Ben David Jewelers truly shows up time and time again for our community, and we say THANK YOU!
